T10 WHATS UP! October 23 - 29, 2022 "We hand-picked and curat- ed a group of stories and sto- rytellers to deliver these tales, whether they come from outer space, supernatural lore, or simply within our minds," del Toro said in a statement. "Just in time for Halloween, each of these eight tales is a fantasti- cal peek inside the cabinet of delights existing underneath the reality we live in." While episode-specific plots have yet to be released, several sources, including Syfy.com's SYFY Wire, have speculated at least two of the tales — "Pickman's Model" and "Dreams in the Witch House" — to be adaptations of stories by influential sci-fi/ horror writer H.P. Lovecraft. Furthermore, the series' trailer, which is almost more of a featurette explaining the method behind the macabre, shows plenty of gruesome footage from exciting and ter- rifying new monsters, to dark magic, human-turned-super- natural experiences with death and more. During this trailer, del Toro explains: "'Cabinet of Curiosi- ties" is a show that I've always wanted to make. ... Each of the episodes has a whole world. They present you with differ- ent delights, some are savory, some are sweet. You get a sur- prise from each of the bites." "With 'Cabinet of Curiosi- ties,'" del Toro notes, "what I'm trying to say is, 'Look, the world is beautiful and horrible at exactly the same time.'" The first episodes to be re- leased, "The Murmuring" and "The Autopsy," star Essie Da- vis ("The Babadook," 2014), Andrew Lincoln ("The Walk- ing Dead") and Hannah Gal- way ("Sex/Life") as well as F. Murray Abraham ("Moon Knight"), Glynn Turman ("Su- per 8," 2011) and Luke Roberts ("Black Sails"). Other series stars include Ben Barnes ("The Punisher"), Crispin Glover ("Back To The Future," 1985), Tim Blake Nel- son ("Watchmen"), David Hewlett ("The Shape of Wa- ter," 2017), Rupert Grint ("Har- ry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," 2001), Ismael Cruz Cordova ("The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power"), D.J. Qualls ("Supernatural"), Nia Vardalos ("My Big Fat Greek Wedding," 2002), Kate Micucci ("Scrubs"), Eric An- dré ("The Eric Andre Show") and many more. J. Miles Dales ("Nightmare Alley," 2021) joins del Toro as co-showrunner and executive producer throughout the se- ries. Don't miss your chance to open the cabinet when "Guill- ermo del Toro's Cabinet of Cu- riosities" premieres Tuesday, Oct. 25, on Netflix. And for those del Toro fans who may be exercising caution heading into this production, rest assured that the director himself has noted he still has many new and classic tricks up his sleeve: "I am as weird today as I was when I made my first movie." continued from page T2 Opening the 'Cabinet': Mexican horror master launches new series on Netflix TV FEATURE 5 x 5 Ben Barnes in "Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities"
